- **Event Name**: Here and Queer - Celebrating 40 Years of Homosexual Law Reform
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 27 Jun, 2026 at 06:00 pm
- **Event Description**: July 2026 will mark 40 years since the Homosexual Law Reform Bill was passed, a notable milestone for our rainbow community in Aotearoa.

To mark this anniversary, the Glamaphones, led by Michael Stebbings and accompanied by Stephen Clothier, will present a programme of music by queer composers, songwriters, and lyricists. Songs range from well-known rainbow classics and contemporary queer anthems to pieces by lesser-known international queer artists, as well as pieces by Wellington musicians Katie Morton and Hinemoana Baker (Ngāti Haumia ki Te Aro, Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, Ngāti Toa Rangatira, Te Āti Awa, Kāi Tahu, Germany, England). This programme will weave together empowering, joyous music with moments of introspection. There will be something for everyone to enjoy.

In 2016 the Glamaphones recognised the 30th anniversary with the commission and premiere of During these Days by composer Gareth Farr. For the 40th anniversary, we are excited to present the premiere of another new piece by composer, musician, and performer Emma Katene (Ngāti Kahungunu).

Please join us after the performance to share some kai.
